The beauty of the Level 3 Foundation Diploma in Business is that it allows you to develop a broad range of business knowledge and core skills, but also gives you the opportunity to tailor your study so you can focus on a particular area of specialisation.
You will undertake compulsory modules such as the business environment, marketing, and communication, which will give you a solid grounding in the fundamentals of the business world, but you will then be able to pick additional modules in areas such as management accounting, internet marketing, recruitment and selection, international business, and contract law.
It's this level of specialisation that makes this the perfect course for those of you who know the particular area of work or study you wish to progress to, and makes this course a highly respected route into employment in that sector, either directly or following further study or an apprenticeship.
So, whether you're looking to develop the requisite skills and knowledge for your dream job, build upon the experience you already have, change your career path or return to work, or advance into higher education, this could be the course for you.
